Generally, durum wheat is best adapted to southern Alberta. Outside of this area, durum tends to be late maturing and often subject to quality loss. The long term average maturity for Strongfield is 105 days and is rated as Medium (M). Durum varieties are generally more susceptible to Fusarium Head Blight than CWRS wheat varieties. AAC Cabri, AAC Raymore, AAC Stronghold and CDC Fortitude have a solid stem that confers resistance to the wheat stem sawfly. VB - designates a varietal blend to preserve the Sm1 orange wheat blossom midge tolerance gene. XX - Insufficient data to describe. † - Flagged for possible removal in 2020.
